Kinda Depressed....

I feel kinda weird posting this ... because I am NOT having any type of WLS at all...have researched, known lots of people who have done it, just dont' want to do it....however, I still come here for comraderie, support, and weight loss ideas. But....here is my problem....I get so depressed when yet another diet fails...or, rather, when I fail again....and, the other night, I sat up late, trying to relax...by myself, watching tv and chilling out...EATING CHEDDAR CHEESE FLAVORED POTATO STICK SNACKS...DRINKING PEPSI...and thinking to myself (while still unable to stop eating)..."why are you knowingly killing yourself?"....................... What is this demon that cannot stop itself? Kandy

Kandy, I know how you feel. I cant find a diet that i can really lose weight on. I am trying to get lap-band but anyways. All you need to do is pray to God to help you and strengthen you and to help you find something that will help. Just give it to God and he will always find a way for you. Keep God first always!! Keep up your spirits! God Bless Jennifer

I understand how you feel. WLS is a final decision I made to be free of the demon of gluttony for once and for all. I know you said you weren't going to have surgery, but pray and ask God to give you your way of escape. He will. I am praying for you now. Carlyce

I finally decided on weight loss surgery because I was tired of that depression and feelings of failure because I could never stick to a diet. Now if I get stupid and eat something I am not suppose to I get sick and my body says, "Neener neener I just showed you." I hate to throw up so it is a great motivator to behave. LOL Bless you, my sister, I hope you can find something that will work for you. Is there any kind of weight loss group at your church or another church in your area? Bless you, Sherri PS My big down fall was always Cheetos Cheese Puffs. My husbands is Oreos.
